Laguna Beach, California (May 18, 2009)--Michael Lewis drove the #42
Formula BMW car of Antonio Ferrari's Eurointernational team to a very
productive weekend at the Formula BMW Americas events at Miller
Motorsports Park, in Tooele, Utah, May 15--17, 2009. On Friday,
Michael qualified fifth and finished a strong fourth in the Formula BMW
Round 5, where he was the highest finishing rookie.

On Saturday, Michael had an outstanding qualifying effort that put him
second on the starting grid, which helped him finish in second place just
.520 seconds behind his teammate Giancarlo Vilarinho at the checkered
flag. Michael trailed his teammate closely throughout the entire race,
and was never more than one second behind Giancarlo. As a result of
Michael's first Formula BMW Americas podium finish, he took over the
points lead in the series' rookie championship. Eurointernational
teammate Gabby Chavez placed third in Round 6, which brought the season's
first 1-2-3 finish for the Eurointernational team.

"I got a good start and tried to stay right on Giancarlo's gearbox but he
drove an awesome race and never gave me the opportunity I needed," said
Michael. "Antonio Ferrari, Nicola Sgotto, and my mechanic John Wolters
gave me a great car as well as advice about how to approach the race. I
was able to race hard and earn a podium finish at the fast and
challenging Miller Motorsports Park track."

Michael then went on to run a steady race on Sunday morning for Round 7
where he started fourth and finished fourth. As a result of the two
fourth-place finishes and the second-place finish, Michael vaulted to the
top of the Formula BMW rookie championship standings with a five-point
lead, and he is fourth in the series' overall points standings.

"In a perfect weekend for the entire Eurointernational Team, Michael's
performances and results confirm the speed already shown at Puebla and
VIR," said Eurointernational team owner Antonio Ferrari. "Michael
executed in the best way possible the technical instruction from our
engineer Nicola Sgotto and my advice since Monday's collective tests. The
leadership in the Rookie Cup, the second place in Round 6, and the two
fourth places in Rounds 5 and 7, put Michael in a strong position for the
rookie championship title and the overall standing."

Michael is carrying momentum into Rounds 8 and 9 of the Formula BMW
Americas Championship at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, July 17--18,
2009.
